At INDEX, Oerlikon Neumag will be presenting technological novelties and turnkey solutions for specific nonwoven applications, in particular for hygiene, medical, filtration and automotive. The product portfolio includes plants for the production of spunlaid, airlaid and carded nonwovens as well as machines for stand-alone meltblown, aerodynamic carding and festooning.
The new redesigned M&J Airlaid technology provides engineered capacities with different product categories, which range from simple binder bonded to complex multilayer structures of different raw materials and bonding techniques.
The latest generation of the Kortec festooner technology allows a pack height of up to 1700 mm and is featured with the most advanced Siemens drive and control system.
Oerlikon Neumag’s flagship, the seven-meter wide spunlaid line will come onstream soon and set a new benchmark for the production of hygiene nonwovens. The concept taps
the full potential of its huge economical advantages especially when producing filament sizes below 1.6 dtex and web weights below 18 gpsm. A new forming and transfer technology, plus a new bicomponent system will further increase the benchmark position.
The J&M meltblown equipment, which is now manufactured at the Neumunster facility in Germany, has gone through a redesigning process and now offers an outstanding price/performance ratio, as part of a spunlaid plant or as a stand-alone solution.
Oerlikon Neumag’s carding team will be featuring a series of improvements on FOR preparation and carding, Fehrer needlepunching and Autefa in crosslapping: Technical novelties like cards with the “Easy Opening” (simple cleaning and maintenance), crosslappers with improved profiling plus a new drive technology, needle looms with optional features like MMD (elliptic needling), optimized needle patterns, automatic needle board exchange and improved feeding systems.
On top of this, Oerlikon Neumag is the only supplier that offers multi-technology lines e.g. the combination of different web forming processes like spunbond, carding and airlaid.
